Understanding and constructively using natural sound in the ocean has become of prime importance with the shift of emphasis to protecting the environment and exercising responsible global resource management which has followed the end of the Cold War. Especially now that we realise that marine mammals and other inhabitants of the oceans are threatened by our acoustic pollution of their environment, the use of natural sound as a non-intrusive remote sensing probe has become particularly germane. This was the first meeting on the subject since the fall of Soviet-Western barriers, and the proceedings include significant work from premier researchers in the former Soviet Union. It was also the f...
Publisher Description
The ICTCA conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for active researchers in academia and industry who are of varying backgrounds to discuss the state-of-the-art developments and results in theoretical and computational acoustics and related topics. The papers presented at the meeting cover acoustical problems of common interest across disciplines and their accurate mathematical and numerical modelling.The present book collects papers that were presented at the 4th meeting and printed in the Journal of Computational Acoustics. There are about 120 full research articles on various subjects, such as wave propagation theory and numerical modelling, sound propagation, vibrations and noise generation, underwater acoustics, engineering seismology, ultrasonic field synthesis and modelling, as well as computational methods, inverse problems and tomography, shallow water acoustics and environmental/bottom parameter extraction. A CD-Rom is attached that allows readers to browse through articles and print those of interest to them.
IMAGE TRACKS AT HALIFAX by L.B. Felsen All living kind much effort spend Some model modes, some model rays, To cope with their environment Some feel that spectra all portrays. Some use their eyes, some use their nose Then there are those who with despatch, To sense where other things repose. Take refuge in the ocean wedge. For one group, nothing's more profound Than to explore the world with sound. If things get messy, randomize. These audio diagnosticians What's partly smooth, determinize. You ponder, is it this or that? Go by the name of acousticians. And wish you were a lowly bat They regularly meet to check Whether their sonogram's on track. The meeting's hosts did treat us well. With im...
